Your Life Story Lyrics - Carpenter Mary-chapin

Maybe love is all anybody 

Ever should believe in 

Maybe life is just something 

That employs us till we die 

Maybe all we know 

Is that the sun will come up every morning 

Maybe time can choose 

Whether to be earthbound or to fly 

Everybody thinks they've got it down 

I won't worry, the truth's always been found 

In your life story 

Maybe you're the one waiting 

For the ship to find your harbor 

Maybe you're the one looking 

Past the forest to the trees 

Maybe you still think 

The older that you get 

Life just gets harder 

Maybe you would trade everything 

For just one moment's peace 

Everybody strains to hear the sound 

Of their heart's calling 

Now you can write yours down 

It's your life story 

Gather up your telegrams 

Your faded pictures, best laid plans 

Books and postcards, 45's 

Every sunset in the sky 

Carry with you maps and string, flashlights 

Friends who make you sing 

And stars to help you find your place 

Music, hope and amazing grace
